I think you've captured the chaos really well -- the problem is I don't really have a visual anchor point to come back to before venturing off to look at some other aspect of the picture. The man in the striped shirt almost works, but the candy next to him echoes the stripes of his shirt too much and so I get pulled away.
The white balance may be a little off. But it looks like there was a huge variety of lighting colors, so that would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to get right. My attention gets pulled to the guy in the striped shirt, which I'm not sure is a good thing, since it seems like this photo should be more about the crowd than that guy. You definitely made a well composed photograph out of a chaotic scene though.
just too busy for me. maybe if you had switched angles and focused just on the guy in the stripes, and let a nice DOP fade the sea of people into a lovely blur...
Massive people! A bit busy without any single subject, but it fits the challenge better than most! Maybe a little dark..... Photo 9 Creativity 8 People 9 total 9
Tokyo at lunch time? What does work for me are the curved strings of signs breaking up the cavernous look of the warehouse. It helps direct the attention down into the throng.
